Blink-182 guitarist and UFO enthusiast Tom DeLonge has weighed in on the rash of mystery drones seen in the New Jersey sky over the past week.
“The drones that are being discussed, can hover for six hours, and then disappear once they are spotted. This is why it’s been hard to get facts from any US Agency,” DeLonge wrote on social media Saturday. “Some of them can even move into the ocean, and then back up to the air. Which is called ‘transmedium travel.’ A very hard thing to do.”
Local, stat and federal authorities have thus far been mystified about the nature of the drones, with the White House saying Thursday that the objects do not appear to be of foreign origin, but their investigation.
Over the past week alone, the drones — which are reportedly bigger than most recreational drones, according to some witnesses — have been seen by hundreds of Garden State denizens, with Governor Phil Murphy admitting that there were nearly 50 sightings alone last Sunday, NPR reports.
The situation reminded DeLonge, an expert on the subject of UFOs and UAPs, to similar mass sightings that happened in the 1960s — “There is a good chance that these things could potentially be ‘mimicking’ other aircraft,” the guitarist said — and shared documents from 1965 about a military base that “experienced a considerable number of reports pertaining to unidentified flying objects.”
Then and now, the UFOs/drones flew in formation, had “red and green flashing lights,” and made “no sound.”
“It’s all something to consider, and although we don’t have all the facts yet, we do know that UFOs play with ‘mimicry’ and that has been known for quite some time,” DeLonge speculated.
“Why? To get us to notice them without a major freak out? Who knows… but well, we are noticing nonetheless.”
